A Grand Stage Emerges from the Mist
"We are really scared. One of the strongest Lost Lands was wiped out overnight, and the remaining six Lost Lands are all living in fear." Zhang Qifan was somewhat dejected.
Looking back, the Lost Land was a place on par with Great Barrier, with a foundation no less than that of the Immortal Realm. Yet in this era, it has been uprooted like weeds.
Wang Xuan inquired about the details, which made him take the matter very seriously. After all, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse; the destruction of one of the strongest strongholds overnight was a very serious problem.
"It was still that mysterious creature covered in black armor, carrying Semi-Mature Supreme Treasure —a behemoth—who slaughtered everyone."
Feather City is magnificent and has a long history. It has similarities with Blue Lake Land of Passage. Countless extraordinary skeletons are buried under the Purple Bamboo Forest outside the city, imprisoning a large number of Ancient Dreadful Spirits.
Not a single living being in the city escaped; they were all wiped out. The Ancient Dreadful Spirits under the Purple Bamboo Forest were harvested as medicinal herbs and used to make medicine on the spot.
Zhang Qifan sent a video, and it was indeed that creature. Its Abyssal Black Gold Armor had a futuristic feel, making it look more like a mysterious mecha.
The planet where Feather City is located has advanced technology. The entire process was clearly captured by Satellite Heavenly Eye. After the mysterious person boarded the spaceship, he destroyed a large number of satellites, and the space was filled with sparks.
"Is it Fallen Dreadful Spirits related to another universe?" Zhao Qinghan was also staring at the screen. The black spaceship that the person was riding was very old, bearing the marks of time, and looked like a ship that had broken free from chaotic spacetime.
Wang Xuan couldn't be sure. The creature came and went quickly, leaving few clues, seemingly only interested in harvesting "herbs."
Technological Dreadful Spirits have never done anything like this before; they mostly engage in low-key "experiences," with the Fallen One lurking and replacing their hosts.
They seemed to be wary of something and didn't want to reveal themselves.
This mysterious person, however, was different. He was very high-profile and his methods were exceptionally domineering. He openly deprived and demanded things, often annihilating entire areas and sparing no living creature.
"Come to the Old Earth," Wang Xuan said. Being here, he naturally wouldn't let anything happen to the people around him.
After a brief silence, Zhang Qifan said he would come over in a while. He himself couldn't bring himself to ask Wang Xuan to protect the entire Lost Land.
Currently, they can only break up into smaller groups and leave Mingyuan Land of Passage, as that creature poses too great a threat to them.
Of course, some people were unwilling to leave and continued to conduct research in the laboratory, believing that there was no "Ancient Dreadful Spirits" here and that they would not bring trouble upon themselves.
A dozen days later, Zhang Qifan arrived and joined the Old Earth laboratory, bringing with him some of the results from Mingyuan Land of Passage, which were very beneficial to Zhao Qinghan's Life Science Research Institute.
Over the next few months, nothing happened in the other lost places, and the New Star and the Old Earth remained as usual, with nothing particularly noteworthy.
As for the starry sky, it is simply too vast. Although technological civilization is brilliant, it is too difficult to understand the various movements of a starry sea, let alone the boundless universe. Humanity, the ocean, an entire life-bearing planet, or even a galaxy are as insignificant as a speck of dust in the deep space.
However, overall, there shouldn't be any major events breaking out; otherwise, even if it's delayed, it would still spread and affect various places.
To date, the Great Universe Error Correction and the Supernatural Finale remain the biggest events of recent years.
"Traces of ancient spaceships have been found in both the Secret Realm and New Star, and they are appearing more and more frequently." Zhao Qinghan received the latest investigation report, and the activities of the Technological Dreadful Spirits were becoming increasingly apparent.
However, the special spaceship that destroyed the two great lost lands was never found and has completely disappeared.
This is at Zhao Qinghan's company. Wang Xuan is here today too, and we're looking at the documents together.
"Boss, we've made a new discovery while organizing the experimental data left by the Ancient Civilization!" The young Female Assistant excitedly rushed in without knocking.
She immediately noticed that Zhao Qinghan, who was usually calm and composed, was smiling and had a homely demeanor, which was completely different from her usual temperament.
"What discovery?" Zhao Qinghan asked.
The assistant suppressed his surprise and gossip and quickly reported, "We came from the Dao Control Banner Civilization. While organizing their database, we accidentally deciphered several unrelated and incomplete pill formulas. As a result, we discovered that when combined, they seem to form a complete Evolutionary Potion."
Soon, Zhang Qifan hurriedly pushed open the door and came in, his face showing some tension, unease, and excitement. He said, "There's a problem with the newly deciphered complete formula!"
After his assistant poured him a glass of water, he closed the door and left. Zhang Qifan lowered his voice and said, "It's made from the Ancient Dreadful Spirits' herb."
Both Zhao Qinghan and Wang Xuan understood how terrifying this pill formula was. Those creepy spirits were no benevolent beings; they were very powerful in the Mythological Era and specialized in devouring the primordial spirits of cultivators.
The fact that the Super Civilization that the Dao Control Banner came from left behind such a pill formula is crucial, as it instantly evokes the image of the mysterious figure who destroyed the two lost lands.
"Is he refining medicine according to this prescription?" Zhao Qinghan frowned slightly.
"The formula for the elixir in the laboratory was discovered long ago, and it was leaked from the Old Earth?!" Zhang Qifan's expression changed.
Wang Xuan shook his head. Three years ago, that mysterious person was harvesting medicinal herbs and refining miraculous medicines, but at that time he had not yet sent these materials to the laboratory.
Zhao Qinghan regained her composure on her fair and beautiful face, and said, "The ancient spaceship's occasional appearances are not only related to another Supernatural Great World, but may also involve extraordinary individuals in our universe."
Now, the situation is complicated. A single ancient elixir formula has led to so much trouble. Could that mysterious person be related to the civilization that the Dao Control Banner belongs to?
Today, the decaying Supernatural Realm is not crystal clear; it is still shrouded in fog, and one cannot see everything clearly ahead.
Another Supernatural Great Universe has entered the Warring States Era. Some of the most precious treasures have been shattered, which may affect the outside world. The situation here is also unclear.
Zhao Qinghan whispered, "Did those the Vanished Super Civilization, those most brilliant Mythological Era, all leave behind extraordinary individuals? Are they operating in secret, doing things we don't understand?"
"Very likely!" Wang Xuan nodded. He had previously overlooked this aspect, always assuming that the existing mysteries were related to Technological Dreadful Spirits, neglecting the Vanished Super Civilization.
Zhang Qifan stared blankly, pondering silently. He was also shocked. After a long time, he said, "I thought that when the Flower of Mythology withered and the extraordinary fog dissipated, only a terrible winter would remain, and everything would be very dull and monotonous. But now it seems that this stage is a bit scary. It has only revealed a corner of its true nature, and all kinds of monsters have just come out."
The fact that Lian Shi could be wiped out so suddenly terrified him.
"Don't worry too much. It's best if we keep to ourselves and don't bother each other. If they don't provoke us, then we can live in peace. If there is any conflict, there's nothing to be afraid of," Wang Xuan said.
He believed that those people walking in the thick fog, who did not actually come up to the stage, were inevitably subject to the Great Universe, which greatly affected them.
Zhang Qifan said, "These are turbulent times. The Vanished civilizations, extraordinary people, experiencers, Technological Dreadful Spirits, another universe—who knows what the future holds?"
Wang Xuan communicated with Imperial Dao Spear in Zhao Qinghan's office, trying to learn about the pill formula and who from that civilization might have survived.
"I don't know, I don't have much contact with the people in the lab." It emitted a faint light.
However, it also mentions that it once intervened, stabilizing the sky, and that many ancient spaceships were rolled out of the chaotic spacetime by the flag and given to the laboratory.
Of course, imprisoning a spaceship that doesn't belong to that era from Space-time Vortex is extremely difficult and comes at a price. Furthermore, the prey also pays the price, enduring the terrifying pressure of time; they don't survive long before turning to dust.
Zhang Qifan gasped. The First Treasure could actually capture a traveler from the past and pull him out directly? That was terrifying!
"Upon discovering someone spying within the vortex of time, the powerful figures of my civilization naturally had to take action. However, it was only the flag that stabilized the chaotic spacetime and captured the prisoners. If it were me, I would have killed them all with a single spear thrust!"
Imperial Dao Spear said nonchalantly that the people in the laboratory obtained a lot of valuable information that time, and many days later, you could still hear their excited and excited voices.
After Old Earth day, everything remained on its normal trajectory, with no significant changes.
Wang Xuan and Zhao Qinghan's married life was peaceful and beautiful, warm yet passionate. Their Mechanical Xiao often ate dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), so they went straight back to their spaceship at night.
In the evening, while practicing the physical techniques on the Golden Bamboo Slips, Zhao Qinghan's bodysuit was soaked with sweat, revealing her excellent figure.
"It hurts, stop!" Although she had a strong will, she couldn't hold on any longer. She was coming into contact with extremely domineering Supernatural Factor.
A wisp of Red Substance emanated from Wang Xuan's right hand. Although the amount was small, it was still too much for her body to handle after being injected into her.
There were no immediate results, but the two of them persisted every day, trying to help her adapt. Back then, she could easily achieve remarkable results by trying anything to maintain her figure, so her talent was naturally quite good.
Wang Xuan started with those close to her; if she could gradually adapt, then others would also have hope.
Chen Yongjie, Old Zhong, Liu Huaian and others have been in contact with violent Super Material for the past six months. They live close to each other and come over every day to draw Red Substance from the Life Pool.
"This is as far as the bear can go tonight." The Mechanical Xiao was limp and burning red. It had been in contact with a lot of Red Substance and desperately wanted to turn back into the extraordinary bear.
"It's getting late. Don't waste this beautiful time. I won't bother you any longer." It trotted away and left.
Under a sky full of stars and a bright moon, Wang Xuan felt that the Mechanical Xiao was more lively than before, and it made a serious joke with a blank expression.
"Let's go." Zhao Qinghan took Wang Xuan's hand. At this moment, they were outdoors, mainly to prevent the Red Substance from burning down the house.
Wang Xuan simply carried her on his back, eliciting gasps of surprise. They quickly flew across the night sky back to their dwelling. In this era, only beings at the true Earth Immortal level or above could easily fly in their physical bodies.
Deep in the universe, blinding light bursts forth, a massive explosion of fragments of time, as a mothership emerges from the chaotic spacetime and enters the Real World.
Boom!
In yet another place, fragments of time fluttered, and an ancient, enormous spaceship appeared, breaking free from the Space-time Vortex.
Then, these most powerful motherships began to converge on one location!
